A lot of us<br \/>\nare intimidated by our flash &#8211; the light is often too harsh, too weak or just not at all<br \/>\nwhat we wanted. This workshop provides some very easy techniques and<br \/>\nknowledge which will help your photography immediately and then works its way<br \/>\nup to the point where you may wonder why you need expensive studio lighting at<br \/>\nall (not that strobist lighting equipment doesn&#8217;t cost &#8211; it&#8217;s part of photography<br \/>\nremember).<br \/>\nThis workshop is all about the light and we all know how important it is to work<br \/>\nwith light. In my humble opinion this is one of the best workshops offered to club<br \/>\nmembers by the RAPC. If I can retain a third of the information that Richard<br \/>\nprovided I will be well on my way to feeling comfortable with flash photography.<br \/>\nThanks to Richard and his over-the-top hard work and Bianca our very patient<br \/>\nmodel for the day.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/?attachment_id=13767\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13767\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13767\" title=\"Bianca\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/untitled-7100-Edit-230x300.jpg?resize=230%2C300\" alt=\"One flash and a reflector\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/untitled-7100-Edit.jpg?resize=230%2C300&amp;ssl=1 230w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/untitled-7100-Edit.jpg?w=788&amp;ssl=1 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><span class='ldc-ul_cont' onclick=\"alter_ul_post_values(this,'13755','like')\" >Likes<img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/like-dislike-counter-for-posts-pages-and-comments\/images\/up.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>(<span>0<\/span>)<\/span><span class='ldc-ul_cont' onclick=\"alter_ul_post_values(this,'13755','dislike')\" >Dislikes<img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.raphotoclub.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/like-dislike-counter-for-posts-pages-and-comments\/images\/down.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>(<span>0<\/span>)<\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Saturday I attended an all-day workshop called Strobist Lighting 101.
